My obsession with heat and food...JoynersHotPeppers

I have been a long time lurker and finally joined. I figured I'd start posting some of the things I cook or make with the peppers I grow.

First up

This is a Thai Cucumber salad I make with a rare Japanese cucumber I grow, peppers and cilantro are mine as well. I'll take better pictures with the next batch. I have enough stuff right now to do about 10 more 32oz jars.

That ceviche looks incredibly goodern' hell!
 
What you serving it with/on?
 
Years ago I was on a fishing trip in Ascencion' Bay south of Cancun and the first day chefly did up an open water cuda ceviche very similar in looks to that.
 
But the best part, as if it could be better, was the crispy corn tortilla chips he served with them.
 
I found out that the tortilla's had been pressed about half way, then drizzled with a little balsamic, and then pressed thin, cut, and fried.
 
Best chip of any kind I ever ate and combined with the ceviche were one of the best 'thangs I ever ate in my life.
 
Thus far I have been unable to duplicate the awesomenessess.
 
I'll be using some corn chips, might pick some up from the local Mexican joint that makes all theirs daily. Many moons ago I spent 3 months in Panama and Costa Rica surfing and camping, we used to snorkel for conch, put a hook with string in them and hang them from the tree. This would pull them out of the shell. From the same tree we would pick a few dozen limes and make ceviche on the spot...so freaking good and for dessert we would steal a pineapple from the field next door. :)
 
Thanks for the compliments!
